Nostr apps are not ready for prime time.

I've been on here for nearly two years, and there are roadblocks. Grandma won't be able to figure it out.

The onboarding path is primal. ODELL said, "just go to primal.net" try it out...

I am trying to login to a nym, and I can't figure out how to log out of primal. I remember in the beginning I had a hard time figuring out how to log in to primal also.

So I'll go use another client, thats the power of nostr. I believe in the purple ostrich. But grandma won't be on here (and staying) any time soon.

I no longer think Austrian economics is "the most correct" school of economics.

Hello, I'm a developer from Finland and joined few days ago. I'm quite impressed about nostr and impact it could have on how we approach social media, privacy and censorship. I'm getting similar vibes when Bitcoin first clicked for me.

And hence the payment tier that subsidies the smaller less space using free users.

Although a lot of that is probably bloated media files, which relays can farm out to other servers (still have to address scaling for those though)

I’ve been off Twitter and all social media except for Nostr for a month now, and the results are hard to argue with.

I’ve started reading real books again (4 this month) and have noticed both my patience and attention increase noticeably. I also feel less angry and anxiety daily, along with being committed to my workout routine.

I found that Nostr has met my social media needs, most importantly, my own ability to self-limit with it. Nostr is a bit ‘boring’ compared to traditional social media because ITS NOT TRYING TO KILL YOU!!!

Controlling your own data isn’t nearly as important in terms of ownership, as it is about allowing that information to be used against you. All of your most intimate thoughts and feelings are data mining by massive corporations specifically to find emotional triggers for you, so they can sell you shit, or force thoughts on to you.

Fuck these people that run these companies that farm our emotions to sell us shit, and to work with corrupt government to censor our speech, sell out dissidents, and destroy our internet.

We are much, much, much more powerful than they will ever be because we don’t need force, corrosion, or permission to run these systems of social connections that they cannot destroy.

My month of social media detox has really lifted the veil from the hate industry complex that are all social media companies today. Stop prostitution your content, thoughts and powers to these shitty companies that enrich the scum of the earth, and empower illegal, unconstitutional and immoral government agencies from their dragnet surveillance.

I’ll make one last tweet explaining this and then nuking my account in the next few weeks. Then I’ll be Nostr only.

Crazy to see Forbes writing about this

What about relays that forget content after a period of time? These would be very lightweight and easy to run. Most people don't even want their notes stored for eternity.

Storage tiers like google drive. First tier should always be free that takes care of 80% use cases/users. Hopefully revenue brings more relays. BUT not like $9.99/month for Damus purple that is too rich.

The argument that it isn’t decentralized doesn’t make sense to me as a user. The client/relay design of Nostr makes my user data redundant, verifiable, and ownable.

Redundant: once signed, my events can be broadcast to as many relays as I want, and they don’t even have to be broadcast by me. Anyone can broadcast them, and I can broadcast anyone else’s.

Verifiable: No matter where my events are broadcast/stored, they are verifiable by your client by my public key, and vice versa.

Ownable: I can use any combination of public, private, shared or personally owned relays, and all my data is redundant across them all. I can locally backup my entire event history and rebroadcast it any time I want.

Who will run the relays? Whoever can, and if centralized relays become more problematic then the data can be easily broadcast to additional relays.

Can you combine Bitcoin and Nostr nodes? Make it dual purpose so it's easier? IDK about the incentives so it gets wide spread adoption.

Can anyone DM me a #alby invite link ? Would love to use this as its intended. #new #introductions

New here. Asking my 1 follower (myself I think) if this place is worth my time.

Enjoy the little things in life, for one day you'll look back and realize they were big things.

no Global Timeline though
